java父类可以强转为子类吗_java父类可以强制转化成子类吗?

Java中父类强制转换成子类的原则：父类型的引用指向的是哪个子类的实例，就能转换成哪个子类的引用。

例：

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Person person = new Boy();

Boy boy = (Boy) person;

boy.eat();

}

}

class Person {

public void eat() {

System.out.println("The people were eating");

}

}

class Boy extends Person {

public void eat() {

System.out.println("The boy were eating");

}

}

打印结果：The boy were eating

原因：当Boy实例化后将引用地址返回传给person，这时person引用实际指向的是Boy，所以将person转换成Boy能成功。

再定义一个类：

class Girl extends Person {

public void eat() {

System.out.println("The girl were eating");

}

}

main方法中添加：

Person p = new Girl();

Boy b = (Boy)p;

b.eat();

运行时提示：Girl cannot be cast to Boy(不能将女孩转换成男孩)

原因：当Girl实例化后将引用地址返回传给p，这时p引用实际指向的是Girl，将p转换成Boy也就是说将Girl转换成Boy，肯定不能成功。

上面的例子换句话来说，男孩和女孩都是人这肯定是对的，但你要说女孩是男孩肯定是不对的。
